Stuffed Bitter Gourd, or Bharwa Karela, is a flavorful dish originating from South Asian cuisine. This traditional recipe features hollowed-out bitter gourds filled with a spiced mixture of ingredients, such as onions, garlic, tomatoes, lentils, or minced meat. The gourds are often pan-fried or slow-cooked, softening their natural bitterness while enhancing their savory taste. Bitter gourd is widely praised for its health benefits, being rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, and dietary fiber. It may aid in digestion, regulate blood sugar, and boost overall immunity. However, if prepared with excessive oil or added sugars, its nutritional profile can be compromised. For a healthier version, opt for minimal oil and bake or steam the gourds instead of frying. Stuffed Bitter Gourd is both a nutritious and flavorful addition to any plate, offering a unique combination of texture and taste.
